[Chapter 8] The Night Before Christmas
Sesshoumaru and Kagome sat in the spare bedroom/den of his apartment. His younger brother has insisted on being the one to tuck Rin in. They waited patiently for their cue when Sesshoumaru was supposed to go sneak out and put the presents from Santa under the tree. The past few weeks had been calm, outside of their busy work schedule because of the holidays.
The three of them, Kagome, Sesshoumaru, and Rin, had gone out for quiet dinners a time or two and there was a slow progression into a more romantic relationship between the elder two.
Sesshoumaru was about to get up to hide the presents when he heard his daughter's bedroom door close there was a light 'Ahem' heard behind him. Turning back to Kagome, he saw her pointedly holding out a garish velvet red suit with white fur lining. At least is wasn't tinsel, he thought wryly, like that horrendous hat Rin had insisted on wearing to sleep that night.
"Absolutely not...," he groused. He wouldn't be caught wearing thing, not with his brother around... probably just waiting to instill the moment in time with a camera.
Kagome glowered and advanced on him, suit still in hand complete with a pillow to make his belly look bigger. "You have too, what if she sees you?"
"She won't, Inuyasha is watching her." He hoped... Inuyasha could be the type to let her out to get a peek at 'Santa'... In that case, him not being dressed like his character could be a bad thing.
But.. No Inuyasha probably wouldn't.
He reached for the door again, but...
"Ahem," she cleared her throat pointedly. "Mr. Taisho...," she cooed. "Your red suit..."
